The vehicle is being operated by the National Galleries of Scotland on a shuttle service between its three sites throughout the day, seven days a week.
John Randerson, Mellor MD, says: “It is really exciting for the whole team at Mellor to see our Orion E entering service for the first time and we are confident that the NGS, the drivers and passengers alike will all be blown away by its performance, comfortable ride and quiet, emissions free operation.
“A great deal of hard work went into the conception, development and launch of this bus which involved our technicians and engineers as well as the sales and marketing team. With its impressive green credentials, I am certain that this will be the first in a long line of Orion Es to be deployed in towns and cities around the UK and, of course, in Europe.”
Launched last year the Orion E is described by Mellor as the world's first fully low floor all electric bus.
